An interesting piece at National Review:
The revisionist account is no idle academic exercise but, as when Judaism and Christianity encountered the Higher Criticism 150 years ago, a deep, unsettling challenge to faith. It will likely leave Islam a less literal and doctrinaire religion with particularly beneficial implications in the case of doctrines of supremacism and misogyny. Applause, then, for plans to translate Did Muhammad Exist? into major Muslim languages and to make it available gratis on the Internet. May the revolution begin.
Hopefully a revolution, but most likely riots and beheadings for “dissing” Ol’Moh.

The overall effect is chilling, which is, of course, exactly its creator’s intent. Her name is Anahita, and she is the 28-years-old voice and vitriol behind Janaza, Iraq’s very first female-fronted, black-metal band. Allow that notion—Iraq’s very first female-fronted, black-metal band—to sink in for a moment. Her first recording, Burn the Pages of Quran, boasts five distorted, primitive tracks that altogether run just shy of an unlucky 13 minutes. She, along with a handful of other acts hailing from the Middle East, are repurposing black metal’s historically anti-Christian ferocity to rail against Islam.

Get it girl! Fuck those bastards!!
I am disappointed, I expected a video.
I looked for that too..lol. Just to see a woman screaming burn the Quran would have made my day! Not a metal head myself although I did listen to Metallica in my youth
, I am still proud of those there that stand up to the evil that is Islam…
This is the sort of thing that makes me proud to be a metalhead.
But I have to say, this (Janaza) is the real thing. When Ronnie James Dio recorded his anti-Bush rant, “The Man Who Would be King”, he risked nothing; When Mercyful Fate vented their hatred of Christians in “Come to the Sabbath” they risked nothing.
But Janaza is the real thing. They are quite literally putting their lives on the line for their music.
Kick out the jams, motherf***ers! (that’s an MC5 reference, for you non-rockers and/or young rockers who may not recognize it)
